Birthday contest

As in most years, I'm having a contest to celebrate my birthday. (Birthday number 57, if you must know.) I'm also celebrating my greatly overhauled blog and Website, now combined here on Blogspot.

To enter the contest, type your email address (disguised to fool spammers if you like) in the comment box. You're welcome to leave comments as well. (Have I left something important off from my new Website you want to point out? Please do.)

If you'd like to be on my mailing list, you can fill out the brief form in the red box in the right column or say in a comment to this post that you'd like to be on my mailing list. You will hear from me only when I publish new books and when I have book signings.

The contest ends at 11:59 pm on Saturday, 21 September. On Sunday the 22nd, my husband will draw two names from a hat. Those people will each win her or his choice of a book of fiction that was up for a major science fiction or fantasy award for 2012. Winners who are not U.S. residents will receive an ebook. You don't even have to go look them up; here is a list:

Shauna, I love the look of your revamped site and it is easy to navigate, which I find important since I usually have my head in the clouds and am not paying attention to details! What do you expect from a fantasy geek? Hugs for your birthday. You are better for the greater experiences, not just older! magicheide at gmail dot com

Thank you, everyone, for dropping by and entering the contest to celebrate my birthday. I appreciate your feedback on my new Website, and thanks for all the birthday wishes.

The winners of the contest are ALINA FIELD and KRISTINE NIELSON. Congratulations!

ALINA, you did not leave your email address. I'll try to track you down, but if you see this message first, please contact me at ShaunaRoberts [at] ShaunaRoberts [dot] com or by using the contact form at the right side of the blog.

Everyone else, if I cannot get in touch with Alina, I'll have my husband draw another name from the hat.
